Plus500

Platform

Plus500’s uses a WebTrader platform as well as the Plus500 proprietary CFD trading platform which provides all necessary information on one screen so that there is no need to scroll to find necessary information. Four clearly-labeled top tabs make it possible to receive details about past trades and current positions without having to search for it.

Plus500’s excellent trading platform is available in two versions – a web-based platform and a mobile trading interface. What makes this platform unique is that unlike those offered by most other brokers, Plus500’s platform remains constant in all versions, which makes it possible to switch seamlessly between the platforms without having to regroup.  Likewise, though most brokers offer out-of-the-box platform solutions that are limited in many ways, we’re always happy to see brokers build their own trading platforms to provide specific (and oftentimes upgraded) services to their traders.

Traders using Plus500 CFD trading platforms have access to a variety of trading features such as advanced technical analysis tools, guaranteed stop loss and more.

Plus500’s trading platform is totally reliable and boasts an impressive execution rate which is reassuring to all traders. It offers competitive spreads, no trading commissions and a leverage of up to 1:30.  Remember that CFDs are a leveraged product and can result in the loss of your entire capital. Trading CFDs may not be suitable for you. Please ensure you fully understand the risks involved. Please consider the company’s Risk Disclosure Statement and User Agreement before using the services.

Features

Plus500 offers a powerful CFD trading platform that adheres to the highest standards and allows thousands of traders to trade CFDs on over 2,000 instruments including 59 Forex pairs and ETFs, Shares, Commodities and Indices across more than 20 markets worldwide.

Unlike many brokers, Plus500 does not have a sales team, meaning there is no pressure selling. If you want to trade, you need only complete the application process, deposit funds, and away you go.

Additional Offerings

Plus500 was one of the first brokers to offer trading on bitcoin (availability subject to regulations). Bitcoin is treated the same as the other Plus500 CFDs and can be traded in the Plus500 demo account.

The Plus500 website can be viewed in 32 different languages and visitors may be automatically redirected to the site in the language they come from even if they'd been previously browsing the web in another language and can then navigate back to another language if desired.  This language switch is designed to make traders feel comfortable wherever they are.

Plus500 runs a free demo, which is unlimited in time and can allow traders to practise for as long as they need to. While an unlimited free demo is not entirely uncommon, it’s always welcome and appreciated.
